This module focuses on the concepts and planning considerations that help organisations design DLP policies that protect sensitive data without disrupting everyday work. |
Module 2.2: Create and manage data loss prevention policiesEffective DLP policies are shaped by deliberate decisions rather than individual settings. Intent, detection, scope and measured actions determine how policies behave in real workflows. Validation and ongoing adjustment help ensure protection remains effective as risk and usage change. |
Module 2.3: Implement endpoint data loss prevention (DLP) with Microsoft PurviewEndpoint DLP helps organisations protect sensitive data on endpoint devices by monitoring, restricting or allowing actions such as file transfers, copying and sharing. Learn how to onboard devices, configure settings and create custom policies to ensure data security across your organisation. |
Module 2.4: Configure DLP policies for Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps and Power PlatformLearn how to configure and implement data loss prevention policies and integrate them with Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps. |
Module 2.5: Investigate and respond to Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention alertsMicrosoft Purview and Microsoft Defender XDR help organisations detect potential data loss risks and respond quickly to protect sensitive information. Investigation and response activities include reviewing DLP alerts, applying remediation actions and documenting findings in a structured and consistent way. |
